Description
Protector adds a lightweight security layer to your WordPress site by « hiding » the default login page. By setting a secret term, only users who know the specific URL can access the login screen.
Any unauthorized attempt to access wp-login.php without your secret term will be automatically redirected to a custom URL of your choice, such as your homepage or an external site.
Key Features:
* Simple and lightweight (No Bloat).
* Integrated with WordPress Native UI.
* Prevents brute force attacks by hiding the entry point.
* Customizable redirect URL.
Installation
- Upload the
protector-securityfolder to the/wp-content/plugins/directory. - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
- Navigate to the new « Protector » menu in your dashboard to configure your settings.
FAQ
-
How do I use the plugin?
-
- Go to the « Protector » menu.
- Check the ‘Enable Protection’ option.
- Enter the ‘Redirect URL’ where unauthorized users should be sent (e.g., https://google.com).
- Set your ‘Secret Term’ (e.g.,
mysecretaccess). - Save changes and copy your new login URL:
yoursite.com/wp-login.php?mysecretaccess.
-
What if I forget my secret term?

You can disable the plugin by renaming its folder via FTP or File Manager, which will restore the default
wp-login.phpaccess.
